Former WH press secretary for President George W. Bush called out Acosta for his hackery:
.@Acosta an advocate for a political point of view, not as a neutral reporter. He's not even playing the devil's advocate. This is bias.

Careful, Ari, or Acosta might consider that criticism to be bad for our Democracy.

At this point, @Acosta is just the "devil" part of "devil's advocate". These are his views & he's just a pure activist at this point. https://t.co/JOAwmyFjYf
